Summary
This study tested whether using catheters coated with antimicrobial agents can prevent serious bloodstream infections in adult ICU patients compared to standard catheters. 110 critically ill patients were randomly assigned to receive either a special or a standard catheter. Researchers tracked infection rates, length of ICU stay, and healthcare costs to see if the special catheters are worth the extra expense.
